Summary:

"Rebuilding after Disasters emphasizes the role of the built environment - particularly the provision of housing - in the re-establishment of lives and sustainable livelihoods after disasters. Various expert contributors, with long experience in the field, explain in this book the principal challenges facing professionals and practitioners in the building industry and also draw out the relations between the building industry and other areas of intervention, including humanitarian aid, medical assistance, and economic reconstruction. This book will be of great value to decision makers, students and researchers in the fields of architecture, social sciences, engineering planning, geography, and disaster recovery."--Page 4 of cover.
